Tending Bar In Bourbon Country: A Whiskey Writer’s Tale

maggie-bar-560x445-2d6d44061af97c27ab41f38afbadd3756381712dSitting on the couch recently scrolling through Facebook on my phone, I read a request from a friend for someone to tend bar from 3-8 on a Saturday.  I had zero bartending experience at that point, but it’s a bourbon bar and I know a ton about bourbon so I responded.  After some training I was set loose behind the bar at one of my favorite spots in town- Match Cigar Bar in Jeffersonville, Indiana.

Going in, I knew the majority of my shift would be slow.
